Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Vector control containing no motion sensor is a manner of controlling electric motor drives fed by a frequency converter which is about to become a standard solution. It provides a vast majority of applications with sufficient performance without the drawbacks caused by velocity feedback, including e.g. cost inflicted by the encoder used for feedback, mounting and cabling costs as well as service and maintenance.
  • vector control without motion sensors is based on measuring two or three output phase currents of a frequency converter.
  • the measurement is implemented e.g. by current transducers based on the Hall effect, in which case the costs, need for space and the number of components of the method are extensive in connection with low-power frequency converters in particular. Making current measurement a simpler process enables savings to be achieved in terms of costs, need for space as well as the number of components; however, maintaining the performance level of the control method becomes a challenge.
  • a reference value is calculated for a voltage vector so as to achieve a certain electromagnetic state for a motor to be controlled.
  • a voltage reference determines the direction and magnitude of the voltage vector necessary during a modulation sequence.
  • a modulator calculates switch references, i.e. the times for the states of each power switch used during a modulation sequence.
  • An inverter part of a three-phase frequency converter comprises three pairs of switches, each switch pair being coupled in series between a positive and a negative busbar of a voltage intermediate circuit of the frequency converter. A point between the switch pairs constitutes a phase output of an inverter such that each phase may provide the output either with positive or negative voltage of the intermediate circuit.
  • the output voltage provided by switches is usually regarded as a complex-plane voltage vector.
  • Switch pairs may be used for forming six voltage vectors which deviate from zero and which reside in a complex plane at a mutual 60 degree phase shift such that by coupling the output of phase A to be positive and the outputs of other phases B, C to be negative, a voltage vector +-- is obtained which resides in a direction parallel to a positive real axis of the complex plane, as shown in Figure 1 .
  • Other voltage vectors are designated in a similar manner, e.g.
  • a voltage vector -+- is a vector obtained when the output of phase B is coupled to a positive busbar of the voltage intermediate circuit while the output of other phases A, C is coupled to a negative busbar thereof.
  • a voltage vector -+- is a vector obtained when the output of phase B is coupled to a positive busbar of the voltage intermediate circuit while the output of other phases A, C is coupled to a negative busbar thereof.
  • a voltage reference is implemented by calculating the time each switch combination is to be used in order to achieve the voltage reference during a modulation sequence.
  • the simplest presently conceivable manner of measuring current so as to ensure the operation of vector control is to measure the current passing through the positive or the negative busbar of an intermediate circuit.
  • This DC current measurement can be implemented e.g. by means of a shunt resistance situated in a busbar of the intermediate circuit, whose voltage drop is proportional to the current passing through the busbar. All current to an inverter part of a frequency converter passes via the intermediate circuit, which means that by measuring the current of the intermediate circuit, the current of one phase that is flowing to the load at a given moment is achieved.
  • DC current measurement enables short-circuit protection to be implemented without any additional measurement electronics.
  • the conventional three-phase modulation method disclosed above is problematic, since both at a beginning and at an end of a modulation sequence as well as in a middle thereof, a zero vector is used during which the DC current is zero in size and contains no phase current information.
  • DC current sampling should take place at a moment in dependence on a modulation index, and thus changing from a modulation sequence to another, so that a voltage vector deviating from zero would then be in use and phase current information would thus exist, which, as far as the implementation in practice is concerned, would be problematic.
  • Current measurement may also be implemented such that DC current is sampled at a high frequency, relying on getting a necessary number of phase currents measured in order to maintain reliability.
  • such a method requires numerous samples to be taken and a considerable processing capacity in order to allocate these samples into currents of different phases on the basis of switch positions, for example.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method which solves the above-disclosed problem and enables current information on a frequency converter to be determined in a simpler manner. This object is achieved by a method according to the characterizing part of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims.
  • the idea underlying the invention is that output switches of an inverter part of a three-phase frequency converter are modulated in a two-phase manner, which enables a voltage vector deviating from a zero vector to be produced at a predetermined location in a modulation sequence. Furthermore, changing the zero vector to be used in the modulation sequence enables DC current information on two phases to be measured in a reliable manner. This enables a reliable manner of measuring two phase currents as often as necessary also at very low output frequencies of the frequency converter.
  • Two-phase modulation means that during one modulation sequence, the state of the switches of only two output phases is changed in order to achieve a desired voltage vector while the switch position of the third phase remains unchanged during the entire modulation sequence.
  • An advantage of the method of the invention is that when two-phase modulation is utilized, a voltage vector deviating from a zero vector is in use either at a beginning or at an end of a modulation sequence or in a middle thereof; this makes it possible to measure one phase current.
  • Two-phase modulation thus enables one phase current to be measured during each modulation sequence at a constant-remaining moment in dependence on the modulation sequence.
  • a change of the zero vector according to the method of the invention enables the phase currents of two phases to be determined.
  • Figure 1 shows a voltage vector star
  • Figure 2 shows a conventional three-phase modulation pattern
  • Figure 3 shows a two-phase modulation pattern
  • Figure 4 shows a schematic description of an inverter part of a frequency converter
  • Figure 5 shows a two-phase modulation pattern
  • Figure 6 shows a two-phase modulation pattern implementing the same average voltage vector as the modulation pattern of Figure 5 , utilizing an opposite zero voltage vector;
  • Figure 7 shows a two-phase modulation pattern
  • Figure 8 shows a two-phase modulation pattern implementing the same average voltage vector as the modulation pattern of Figure 7 , utilizing an opposite zero voltage vector;
  • Figure 9 shows an example of a control system wherein the method according to the invention may be utilized.
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows an inverter part of a three-phase frequency converter.
  • the inverter part comprises a voltage intermediate circuit U dc and power switch pairs constituting an output of the frequency converter. These switch pairs are coupled in series between a positive + and a negative - busbar of the voltage intermediate circuit so that a midpoint of each switch pair constitutes an output of phase A, B, C of the frequency converter.
  • a voltage vector reference is formed for the output power switches such that only two switch pairs are modulated during one modulation sequence.
  • a modulation sequence refers to a time sequence which constitutes an average inverter switching frequency.
  • an output is provided with an average voltage vector according to a reference received from a higher level of the control circuit.
  • the voltage vector is formed in a manner known per se by using the vectors shown in Figure 1 .
  • said two switch pairs are controlled to implement a voltage reference vector during the modulation sequence by using one zero vector.
  • Figure 3 shows an example of one modulation sequence of two-phase modulation, wherein switchings are thus carried out in two phases only.
  • the state of the switch pairs of phases A and B is changed from negative to positive and further to negative.
  • the output switches implement a voltage vector ---, i.e. a zero vector, during which no current passes via the intermediate circuit of the frequency converter through the switches to the load.
  • the voltage vector of the output changes into a vector +-- and further, after the coupling of phase B, into a vector ++-.
  • This switch position is also used in the middle of the modulation sequence. After this moment, the vector pattern is repeated, symmetrically with respect to the midpoint of the modulation sequence till the end of the modulation sequence. As can be seen in Figure 3 , the state of phase C does not change at all during the entire modulation sequence.
  • Figure 2 shows a conventional three-phase modulation pattern.
  • An average voltage vector produced during a modulation sequence by this modulation pattern corresponds with the voltage vector produced by the two-phase modulation of Figure 3 .
  • the current of the voltage intermediate circuit of the frequency converter is measured at a predetermined moment in the modulation sequence.
  • Figure 4 schematically shows a structure of an inverter part of a frequency converter, disclosing how currents pass in the middle of the modulation sequence of Figure 3 , i.e. during the voltage vector ++-.
  • the arrows in Figure 4 show that the current in the intermediate circuit passes via phases A and B to the load, and further through the load via a lower branch of phase C back to the intermediate circuit. Since use of two-phase modulation enables the exact moment at which the zero vector is not in use to be determined, the current of one phase of the load can be measured accurately. This particular moment to be determined is completely independent of both the magnitude and direction of the average voltage vector to be produced.
  • This predetermined moment is in dependence on the modulation sequence and resides in a middle thereof.
  • phase current can be measured.
  • the modulation pattern may be changed so as to enable the necessary current information to be measured at some other moment in dependence on a modulation sequence.
  • a moment is e.g. a beginning or an end of a modulation sequence, i.e. the moment when one modulation sequence changes into a next modulation sequence.
  • the zero vectors to be used in modulation sequences during use of a frequency converter are changed actively. Since current information on all output phases of the frequency converter is to be obtained frequently enough as far as control is concerned, the zero vector to be used should, according to the invention, be changed on a regular basis between the modulation sequences. Changing the zero vector does not affect the magnitude of an average voltage vector obtained during a modulation sequence but all voltage vectors can be implemented by two-phase modulation, using either one of the zero vectors +++ or - --. Due to the changing of the zero vector, the modulation pattern alters, and at the same time, the voltage vector being used at a predetermined current measurement moment changes.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show two-phase modulation patterns implementing the same average voltage vector during a modulation sequence.
  • a zero vector --- is used at a beginning and at an end of the modulation sequence.
  • a voltage vector ++- is used, during which current -i C can be measured from an intermediate circuit.
  • a modulation pattern is used wherein the zero vector is a vector +++.
  • a voltage vector +-- is then used in a middle of a modulation sequence.
  • the current of an intermediate circuit measured during the voltage vector +-- corresponds with current i A , i.e. the output current of phase A.
  • the method of the invention enables the current of two different phases to be measured by changing actively the zero vector to be used.
  • Current samples of all three phases can be measured as a voltage vector reference changes between sectors. It is not, however, necessary to obtain the current information on all three phases in order to ensure the operation of a controlled drive.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show successive modulation sequences implementing the same average voltage during the modulation sequences by using different zero vectors. It is to be noted that when the process moves from Figure 5 to Figure 6 , the state of all switches is to be changed simultaneously. Naturally, this is not desirable since simultaneous turns of the switches may cause problems.
  • Figures 7 and 8 disclose a solution wherein a zero vector is changed by controlling one switch pair only.
  • Figure 7 shows a modulation pattern corresponding with that of Figure 5 wherefrom, according to the invention, the process is to move to a modulation pattern employing an opposite zero voltage vector.
  • a modulation pattern forming such a zero vector is shown in Figure 8 wherein a switch of phase A is in a high, i.e. +, position during the entire modulation sequence.
  • a switch of phase B is controlled first and last, prior to a middle point of the modulation sequence, a switch of phase C.
  • a voltage vector formed by the modulation pattern of Figure 8 during the modulation sequence corresponds with the voltage vector formed by Figure 7 , and the zero vector used is a different one from that used in the modulation of Figure 7 .
  • a second preferred alternative in order to obtain relevant current information is to change the sampling moment in dependence on the zero vector.
  • the zero vector to be used determines the moments at which relevant current information is available, and measurements can be carried out at such moments only.
  • the zero vector to be used is changed at intervals of two modulation sequences or less often, i.e. the same zero voltage vector is used in two or more successive modulation sequences. This should also be taken into account when processing the results of DC current measurements, so that when current measurement occurs in connection with a zero vector change and a modulation sequence change, it is not advisable to use the result of the current measurement.
  • the zero voltage vector may also be changed such that the change is carried out after the changing number of modulation sequences.
  • a criterion for changing the zero vector may then be e.g. the frequency of output voltage.
  • the frequency When the frequency is low, when the process remains in the same voltage sector for a long time, a change should take place frequently enough in order to obtain measurement information on two phase currents.
  • the zero voltage vector can be changed less often or changing the zero vector actively may be even stopped.
  • the zero vector When operating in accordance with the invention, the zero vector may be changed in various different ways. The point is that the zero vector is changed as often as necessary at low frequencies in order to obtain current information on at least two phases, and that the same zero vector is used successively during at least two modulation sequences in order to ensure the correctness of the current information.
  • Figure 9 shows a control method utilizing estimated motor currents, wherein current estimates are formed e.g. by means of inverter switch positions Sa, Sb, Sc, measured intermediate circuit voltage U dc and motor parameters in a manner known per se. Since motor parameters and measured/known variables contain error, current estimates to be obtained have to be corrected by means of the measured current information.
  • This measured current information is formed by the method of the invention.
  • This method being less sensitive to various interference related to measurements than a control method utilizing measurements directly, is thus advantageous to be used e.g. in an environment with interference or in connection with utilizing poor-performance current measurement equipment.
  • FIG. 9 is a control method known per se, wherein a flux controller 91 receives at its input a flux reference value ⁇ ref and a flux actual value ⁇ act determined by an observer 95.
  • a velocity control 92 produces a reference for a component i q,ref transverse to the current on the basis of a reference value ⁇ ref of angular velocity and actual value ⁇ act determined by the observer.
  • the magnitude of the current actual value i act calculated by means of motor parameters of the observer, switch references and intermediate circuit voltage can be corrected on the basis of samples which, in the embodiment of Figure 9 , are obtained from block 96, e.g. either directly by replacing the magnitude of current calculated by the observer with the magnitude of a sample or by weighting the samples by a certain weight factor and thus correcting the value determined by the observer.
  • a current sample is obtained according to the method either at a beginning/at an end or in a middle of a modulation sequence. If the current sample were taken at a random moment in a modulation sequence, as tends to be the case in connection with the conventional methods disclosed above, the sample would be useless for enabling estimated current to be corrected directly since the estimated current normally represents the actual current either at a beginning, in a middle or at an end of a modulation sequence.
  • the disclosed current measurement method is particularly well suited for use together with the exemplary control principle disclosed above since measurements obtained relatively seldom and mutually non-simultaneously for different phases suffice to satisfy the needs of a control which utilizes estimates.
